Table 1. Service Pack 1 Issues

Defect # Summary Issue Addressed

295163

DNS settings not updated

Addressed issue where resolv.cfg was not consistently updated with DNS settings.

301487

GUI / CLI inconsistencies

The CLI allowed using supernetted addresses.

305592

No CLI after reboot

On boot up if the search through /etc/tcpip.cfg did not find the specific option it was looking for, the search would throw an exception and the CLI would not start.

305886

Annotator doesn't support bind user authentication profiles

When a bind user is configured with an LDAP profile, the Annotator couldn't log into the LDAP server. Authentication failed.

306375

Web server was violating HTTP specification

The IBM_HTTP_Server/1.3.12.6 Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) violates the HTTP specification in two ways. First, it sends back an HTTP/1.1 reply to an HTTP/1.0 request. Second, it sends back a Trailer header for a non-chunked reply.

Excelerator now supports this server.

306792

NTLM timeout

The timeout for volauth.exe has been increased from one second to three seconds.

306875

Search fails when browsing LDAP servers without specifying context

The Annotator did not allow browsing LDAP objects located below the root of a given tree. Most LDAP servers do not allow the creation of group or user objects at the root. If context was empty, Excelerator returned an error.

An empty context is now allowed in an LDAP search.

307687

Localized filtering proxy error messages

The internationalization data structures in proxy had to be exported so acfilter.nlm could access it. Hard coded messages were converted to use the localization data.

307926

Modified site download code to use URL marker data

Fixed the code to handle the case where ReadAheadDownloadRequest is NULL.

308186

Administering a second Excelerator through a forward proxy

When users attempted to administer a second Excelerator through a forward proxy, the first Excelerator would restart.

308286

Debug trap

NDS authentication caused a memory leak. The system would eventually restart.

308490

Filtering causes restart

Filtering caused a memory overrun. The system would restart.

308689

Importing NAS file with large number of filtering overrides

Importing a NAS file with a large number of filtering overrides caused the Excelerator to restart.

309171

Debug trap when shutting down

The system was overwriting memory because it has miscalculated where to place the null terminator. It was also failing to free memory that it allocated.

329388

Excelerator with Websense stops passing traffic

If the Websense server went down, Excelerator did not re-connect and pass traffic when the server restarted.

309581

Abend when trying to import trusted root file into Secure Excelerator

The code assumed that the entry was in the format sys:/filename. This caused the abend.

309856

Sun JVM support

The GUI did not support the Sun JVM.

334339

Enabling IP ACL on Excelerator disables monitoring in System Controller

The System Controller agent could not post data to the System controller when there was a global ACL policy defined.

338199

LDAP Authentication

LDAP authentication did not work with HTTPS Web sites.

341972

WCCP causing browser disconnect

Joining a WCCP Service Group disconnected any browser sessions./

345209

Subnet code was adding additional IP addresses to the search tree for partially filled bytes

This allowed the class E subnets to work but also caused 10.3.0.0 to include the subnet 10.4.0.0. Only class A, B, C, and D subnets are supported.

345359

400 Bad Request

A corrupt eTag caused a 400 Bad Request.
